Green energy applications such as hybrid vehicles, wind energy, and solar energy stand to reap big benefits from regulated electronic power conversion common to switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).

Core loss in inductors can adversely affect system performance. Yet, predicting core loss is a complicated endeavor, especially in complex structures such as coupled inductors. This article examines ...

Wound-toroid inductors have been the mainstay for desktop core voltage regulators (V CORE) for years. Historically, the bulky size, sloppy tolerances and high power losses of these inductors were not ...
